I think I may have munchausens but its not quite the same, I just feel a rush whenever someone else decides what to do with me or if I’m told to take any type of medication and I don’t want to be physically ill nearly as much as mentally ill I’ve always wanted to be forcefully sedated then wake up strapped into a bed I know its strange but I honestly don’t care about attention I don’t know if this is munchausens or if I’m just a nut case but that’s just the way I am
What’s to stop doctors from creating bullshit disorders, like “My daughter won’t eat her cherrios syndrome” and “I can’t find my socks disorder?”
What about Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy? Making other person sick (usually a children) to gain attention?
Eminem’s mom has it.
Clinical features
· plausible, often dramatic, history and symptoms of acute physical illness in the
absence of that illness
· history of multiple hospital admissions and multiple operations
· show extensive pathological lying, and lack of personal rapport
· GI symptoms or haemoptysis are the most common presentations
Münchausen syndrome (‘hospital addiction syndrome’)
· classified in ICD-10 under ‘other disorders of adult personality and behaviour
· symptoms are generated intentionally under voluntary will
· motivation to assume the sick role
· absence of external incentives e.g. economic gain, avoiding criminal prosecution8
Epidemiology
· M=F
· mean age of presentation is 36 years
@HigherWaysWoman Those with Munchhausen generally are not suicidal or homicidal, unless refused treatment.
I don’t know what to do for this person. WE live in a small outpost town….no real psychiatrist. All but 1 grown kids hav left this person. Would Manchausen be enuff to get her admitted & held ther as well? Thank you for sharing this much needed info w/us!!!
I know sum1 who has this & they are extremely volatile if lightly convey not buying into this. This person will go ballistic darndest thing I’v ever seen. If this person gets uncovered the cruel & brutal vehement this person shows when going after their adult children is mind boggling. And this person wants to inflict serious wounds onto these grown children. I know this person has sabotaged my recovery, I’m a brain tumor survivor. This person is very scary & should b carefully approached
@ehliberty he might have lied bout that, we never know 4 sure
what happens to patients who are diagnosed with Munchausen? Will they be rejected by hospitals henceforth?
@neferiusnexus Yeah, it is called Munchausen by Proxy. Scary stuff…
Munchausen doesnt really seem like a syndrome. More likely seems like Attention Starved. :/
“If gentle prodding doesn’t help, your next step is to speak with her Doctor.” -and don’t forget to bake a batch of chocolate-chip Cookies for when the boys in white coats come knocking 😀
But seriously, there is even a worse and more terrifying form of this mental illness: Projected Münchhausen Syndrome; where the sick person actively harms another loved-one or acquaintance (usually their own child or an elderly person) in order to get their attention-fix.
eminem’s mom has it.
speak with “her” doctor, eh?
it’s true…i have seen it in people…and it can be a serious situation…thanks for posting…..
thats my mother right there…a different disease every month.
Why did you insist on “her”. Males would be affected too. You make it seem like girls/woman are the only or at least majority. Even if they are the majority I don think you should have put such emphasis on “her”.
@yeah10000000000000 Well, since this is a mental illness, I would not think a hug would help…
@anavywife28 Well, since this is a mental illness, I would not think a hug would help and definitely NOT funny!!
